Total time: 50 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

- 500 g chicken livers
- 2-3 green onions
- 1 medium tomato
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons of roasted pepper paste
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 70 g white wine
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- A handful of fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by cleaning and chopping the green onions into small pieces. This will add a sweet and aromatic note to the dish. The tomato and bell pepper will complement the flavor, so chop them into small cubes as well.

2. Sauté the vegetables: In a heated pan, add the 2 tablespoons of oil, and when it gets hot, add the chopped green onions. Sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent. Then add the chopped tomato and bell pepper and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and develop their flavor.

3. Prepare the livers: Meanwhile, it is important to clean the chicken livers well. Remove any visible membranes or fat, then cut them into smaller slices, about 1-2 cm thick. This size will allow for even and quick cooking.

4. Cook the livers: Add the livers to the sautéed onions and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the white wine, which will add a note of acidity and enhance the flavors. Cover the pan and let everything simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will notice how the livers change color and become tender, while the flavors blend perfectly.

5. Finish the dish: After 20 minutes, check the livers; they should be fully cooked but still juicy. Add the finely chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness and mix well. Let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.

6. Serving: Chicken livers are served warm, alongside creamy mashed potatoes, plain rice, or even fluffy polenta. These side dishes will perfectly complement the flavor of the dish and turn the meal into a delightful experience. You can sprinkle a bit of fresh parsley on top for a more appealing look!
